Expertise
Nigel works in the relation between philosophy and education. His publications explore how this relation affects the concept of 'the teacher', of 'education' and the shape of the history of western philosophy. He is currently developing a new undergraduate degree programme in Modern Liberal Arts which is grounded in a notion of philosophical education.
